Requeriment Types
« on: March 16, 2005, 11:24:44 am »
Could you expand the length of the requeriment types?, currently it allows 12 characters for the requeriment type name and it seems very short especially for non-english applications where the word functional (funcionalidad) doesn't fit in the field size.

I think it shouldn't pose too much of a bourden to modify the the field length in the requeriment type form and in the DB, and I would really apreciate it since I have to use a tag value instead.

I've been checking this issue further and i found out that the actual parameter size is much bigger but the form for entry of it has the size reduced.
Editing the DB i have found a way around this issue but it would be nice to have a "direct" way of doing this.

I was about to supposing this "solution" but then found this not being very wise. The database size migth be larger but the overlying program might not be aware of strings longer than those currently presented -> string overrun. You should be aware of a potential crash when using this "feature" :o
